Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Certification and Security in Inter-Organizational E-Services presents the proceedings of CSES 2004 - the 2nd International Workshop on Certification and Security in Inter-Organizational E-Services held within IFIP WCC in August 2004 in Toulouse, France. Certification and security share a common technological basis in the reliable and efficient monitoring of executed and running processes; they likewise depend on the same fundamental organizational and economic principles. As the range of services managed and accessed through communication networks grows throughout society, and given the legal value that is often attached to data treated or exchanged, it is critical to be able to certify the network transactions and ensure that the integrity of the involved computer-based systems is maintained.This collection of papers documents several important developments, and offers real-life application experiences, research results and methodological proposals of direct interest to systems experts and users in governmental, industrial and academic communities.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Global optimization aims at solving the most general problems of deterministic mathematical programming: to find the global optimum of a nonlinear, nonconvex, multivariate function of continuous and/or integer variables subject to constraints which may be themselves nonlinear and nonconvex. In addition, once the solutions are found, proof of its optimality is also expected from this methodology. Therefore, with these difficulties in mind, global optimization is becoming an increasingly powerful and important methodology. Essays and Surveys in Global Optimization is the most recent examination of its mathematical capability, power, and wide ranging solutions to many fields in the applied sciences.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - In recent years magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has enriched the technological potential available for the characterization of cardiovascular pathologies, adding substantial advantages to other non-invasive techniques. This technique, which is intrinsically digital and has reduced operator dependency, allows the performance of image analysis in a quantitative and reproducible manner.The use of non-ionizing energy with the consequent absence of an environmental impact and of operator and patient biohazards makes MRI a winning technique when evaluating the risk- benefit ratio in comparison to other imaging methods.In virtue of its added diagnostic value and inherent refinements that allow construction of two- and three-dimensional images, MRI is gaining a primary role in the histopathological and physiopathological understanding of a large number of pathologies concerning the heart and vessels.This text is addressed both to MRI operators seeking specific technical information and to clinicians who wish to have a better understanding of the diagnostic and management advantages that MRI can offer.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Analysis, Control and Optimization of Complex Dynamic Systems gathers in a single volume a spectrum of complex dynamic systems related papers written by experts in their fields, and strongly representative of current research trends. Complex systems present important challenges, in great part due to their sheer size which makes it difficult to grasp their dynamic behavior, optimize their operations, or study their reliability. Yet, we live in a world where, due to increasing inter-dependencies and networking of systems, complexity has become the norm. With this in mind, the volume comprises two parts. The first part is dedicated to a spectrum of complex problems of decision and control encountered in the area of production and inventory systems. The second part is dedicated to large scale or multi-agent system problems occurring in other areas of engineering such as telecommunication and electric power networks, as well as more generic context.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Clinical practice is evolving at a rapid pace,nowhere more so than in the field of cardiology.Acute Coronary Syndromes, Sudden Cardiac Death, Heart Failure, Atrial Fibrillation,Syncope,and Prevention of Global Cardiovascular Risk are the main Emerging Pathologies to which many investigators are addressing their researches. Less than 10 years ago, some of them were considered of relevance only to internists, and some others as a common benign arrhythmia or an ineluctable illness. Today, their prevalence amongst the population represents one of the major public health problems at the beginning of the third millen- um. The need to have a state of the art overview of the epidemiology,physiopat- logical and electrogenetic mechanisms, diagnosis, pharmacological or electrical treatment,prognosis,patient management in and out of hospital,organisational and economical implications of these emerging pathologies and the success of the previous edition inspired us to organise the second edition of this biannual International Meeting.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - We are pleased to present the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop 'Syntheses, Properties and Applications of Ultrananocrystalline Diamond' which was held June 7-10, 2004 in St. Petersburg, Russia. The main goal of the Workshop was to provide a forum for the intensive exchange of opinions between scientists from Russia and NATO countries in order to give additional impetus to the development of the science and applications of a new carbon nanostructure, called ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) composed of 2-5 nm crystallites. There are two forms of UNCD, dispersed particles and films. The two communities of researchers working on these two forms of UNCD have hitherto lacked a common forum in which to explore areas of scientific and technological overlap. As a consequence, the two fields have up to now developed independently of each other. The time had clearly come to remedy this situation in order to be able to take full advantage of the enormous potential for societal benefits to be derived from exploiting the synergistic relationships between UNCD dispersed particulates and UNCD films. The NATO sponsored ARW therefore occurred in a very timely manner and was successful in beginning the desired dialogue, a precondition for making progress toward the above stated goal. The discovery of UNCD completes a triadof nanostructured carbonswhich includes fullerenes and nanotubes.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - This volume contains an archival record of the NATO Advanced Institute on Microscale Heat Transfer - Fundamental and Applications in Biological and Microelectromechanical Systems held in Çesme - Izmir, Turkey, July 18-30, 2004. The ASIs are intended to be high-level teaching activity in scientific and technical areas of current concern. In this volume, the reader may find interesting chapters and various Microscale Heat Transfer Fundamental and Applications. The growing use of electronics, in both military and civilian applications has led to the widespread recognition for need of thermal packaging and management. The use of higher densities and frequencies in microelectronic circuits for computers are increasing day by day. They require effective cooling due to heat generated that is to be dissipated from a relatively low surface area. Hence, the development of efficient cooling techniques for integrated circuit chips is one of the important contemporary applications of Microscale Heat Transfer which has received much attention for cooling of high power electronics and applications in biomechanical and aerospace industries. Microelectromechanical systems are subject of increasing active research in a widening field of discipline. These topics and others are the main themeof this Institute.…

Kombiprodukt. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Nuclear resonance parameters for levels created in reactions with incident protons and a-particles, as well as other light charged particles such as deuterons, tritons, and He-3 nuclei, are of great interest for nuclear spectroscopy, astrophysical models, thermonuclear calculations and other applications. In the Landolt-Börnstein volume I/19A the parameters have now been compiled. No systematic compilation for such data has been performed so far. A large part of the experimental data has been produced during the last 10 years. The compilation was prepared by eminent experts in the fields. One of the characteristics of Landolt-Börnstein is that data are evaluated before they are accepted for compilation. The idea is to present `best values¿ which can be used with confidence by non-experts. Preparing such best values also implied making corrections necessary because of different energy calibrations in various publications. Subvolume I/19A2 contains the data for nuclei with Z ranging from 19 to 83. In view of the large amount of data available some of the information is given on the CD ROM only. The data for nuclei with Z up to 18 has been published in Subvolume I/19A1. Parameters for nuclear levels produced in reactions with incident neutrons were previously published by Landolt-Börnstein in volumes I/16B and I/16C. TOC:Introduction. Tables (K-37 . Bi-209). References. Supplement (complete sets of resonance parameters) on CD-ROM. …

Kombiprodukt. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Volume 43 of Group III deals with crystallographic data of both intermetallic and classical inorganic compounds, thus forming an update of the former Landolt-Börnstein volumes III/6 (Structure Data of Elements and Intermetallic Phases) and III/7 (Crystal Structure Data of Inorganic Compounds). It does not include compounds that contain C-H bonds. Moreover, in contrast to the earlier edition the present volume presents the data in a different, more modern arrangement - known crystal structures are combined in groups according to their type of structure; each structure type is therefore represented by a complete set of crystallographic data holding for all isotypic structures, with the data comprising space group, cell parameters and atom coordinates. Remarks, descriptions and figures are provided where necessary. The present subvolume A 2, which utilizes the databases TYPIX and Pauling File, forms the second contribution to volume 43, which is going to be published in a series of subvolumes. Subvolume A 1 is already available. TOC:Introduction.- Crystal structures of space groups (218) P-43n ¿ (195) P23.- Index of crystal structures of space groups (218) P-43n ¿ (195) P23.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Cosa si prova a non poter avere un figlio Quanto è difficile comunicare alla coppia una diagnosi di sterilità Come affrontare il 70% dei fallimenti delle tecniche di PMA Come una legge puo' incidere sul futuro di un embrione Il testo, nato dalla fusione multidisciplinare medica, psicologica e sociologica, vuole riflettere su queste domande e accompagnare il lettore in una nuova forma mentis sulle criticità nella fecondazione assistita. La trama scientifica si accompagna a un linguaggio diretto dove hanno un posto rilevante le emozioni, cosi' centrali in campi quali la ginecologia, la riproduzione e la psicologia dell'infertilità, che vanno al cuore del bisogno psico-sessuale più forte e arcaico: quello riproduttivo. Al centro del volume è la relazione medico-paziente che, nel campo dell'infertilità, è caratterizzata dall'attivazione di forti echi emotivi da parte di entrambi. Il volume, a tale riguardo, propone il protocollo SAHARAI che comprende due metodi inediti (il questionario e il nurse-ring) capaci di intervenire, rispettivamente, nella fase diagnostica e in quella terapeutica della fecondazione. I metodi e le riflessioni proposti sono volti alla riduzione dei disagi psicologici delle coppie e al riequilibrio del rapporto medico-paziente. Dal testo emerge forte una nuova idea di formazione per gli operatori dei centri di fecondazione assistita e un percorso di qualificazione per le nuove figure professionali (gli psicologi addetti alla PMA) in accordo con le nuove direttive della legge.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -I. MASS TERMS, COUNT TERMS, AND SORTAL TERMS Central examples of mass terms are easy to come by. 'Water', 'smoke', 'gold', etc. , differ in their syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic properties from count terms such as 'man', 'star', 'wastebasket', etc. Syntactically, it seems, mass terms do, but singular count terms do not, admit the quantifier phrases 'much', 'an amount of', 'a little', etc. The typical indefinite article for them is 'some' (unstressed)!, and this article cannot be used with singular count terms. Count terms, but not mass terms, use the quantifiers 'each', 'every', 'some', 'few', 'many'; and they use 'a(n)' as the indefinite article. They can, unlike the mass terms, take numerals as prefixes. Mass terms seem not to have a plural. Semantically, philo sophers have characterized count terms as denoting (classes of ) indi vidual objects, whereas what mass terms denote are cumulative and dissective. (That is, a mass term is supposed to be true of any sum of things (stuff) it is true of, and true of any part of anything of which it is true). Pragmatically, it seems that speakers use count terms when they wish to refer to individual objects, or when they wish to reidentify a particular already introduced into discoursc. Given a 'space appropriate' to a count term C, it makes sense to ask how many C's there are in that space. 324 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -L'integrazione del sistema di 'gestione per la Qualità', con la valutazione e il miglioramento delle specifiche competenze tecnico-professionali e col monitoraggio della Qualità dei percorsi diagnostici e terapeutici non è stato e non è impegno di poco conto: non a caso essi sono annoverati tra i punti di forza e gli obiettivi strategici anche del Piano Sanitario Nazionale 2003-2005 ('Garantire e monitorare la qualità delle cure e delle tecnologie sanitarie'). La disponibilità di materiali di significato formativo in tal senso è ancora assai scarsa nel nostro mondo specialistico. E cio', nonostante sia sempre più pressante la richiesta di strumenti formativi che consentano di trasferire al medico specialista la capacità di utilizzare al meglio i metodi e gli strumenti per l'identificazione, la gestione e la misura dei processi diagnostici, terapeutici e gestionali in Pneumologia, avendo come obiettivo il loro miglioramento continuo nel contesto dell'Azienda sanitaria. L'obiettivo didattico-formativo del presente volume è proprio orientato in tal senso e si propone di fungere da strumento utile per intraprendere in maniera semplice l'approccio e la gestione per processi in Pneumologia, rendendo cosi' più facile ed efficace la comunicazione con le Direzioni strategiche aziendali. Gli argomenti trattati sono di estrema attualità in tema di applicazione dei metodi e degli strumenti illustrati nei programmi di miglioramento per la Qualità. Cio' nel tentativo di incrementare le competenze specifiche dello specialista pneumologo, cosi' da renderlo interlocutore efficace e indipendente nei confronti delle Direzioni strategiche di riferimento. Con grande sensibilità la SIMeR (Società Italiana di Medicina Respiratoria) ha voluto patrocinare la presente edizione, a oggi l'unica in ambito pneumologico, i cui contenuti hanno preso origine dalle proposte e dal lavoro dei responsabili di uno dei suoi Gruppi di Studio di più recente istituzione, quello del 'Miglioramento Continuo della Qualità in Pneumologia'. 80 pp. Italienisch.…
